Authors of Groundbreaking Study on Workplace Violations Speak!

On Monday, November 9, 2009, Ana Luz González and Ruth Milkman, co-authors of a new study: Broken Laws, Unprotected Workers: Violations of Employment and Labor Laws in America’s Cities, spoke to students and faculty at LA Trade-Technical College about their study which covered three major cities- New York, Chicago, and Los Angeles.
